Weather is made of unequal heating & earth spinning.
High heat beaming down at the equator lifts air up, lowering air pressure.
The warm air is driven pole-ward where it cools, sinks, and increases in pressure.
The friction and the Coriolis effect sends the air eddying around the globe.

Air masses--a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content--interact along fronts.
